Yonenaga's Atlantic Spiny Rat The Yonenaga's Atlantics Spiny Rat is a species of spiny rats that are found in South America. It is a burrowing rodent that lives in colonies. Because they live in an environment where vision is limited, they rely on scents from anal glands to identify other rats in the colony. The Yonenaga’s Spiny Rat is endangered because it needs a low temperature, wet environment. They are herbivores. -Lachie Macfarlane
